I sent an email to JBL regarding the foam inside the 044 tweeter dome. The response I got from JBL was as expected
but they did referance me to some reconers. Sooo..Thank you for your e-mail. Unfortunately the tweeter for this model is no longer available. It has been discontinued and we do not show a replacement. You may want to contact one of the following service centers. They may be able to re-foam the existing driver.
I emailed those on the list that I could.
Of the responses that I got back, one was a sorry can't help you, another was a " you can manufacturer your own from weatherstripping foam "
and the last was a "YES! we can send you that for $25."
Now I'm wondering about the last one, that it wasn't just a kneejerk "yeah we got your speaker foam"
So I am going to investigate further, In the event that response #3 was in fact bogus (and cause I do like to make my own stuff) anyone have any ideas as to the dimensions and possibly the foam density of the 044 foam?
